"This old ancestor of the Zheng family, allowing rumors detrimental to her own family to spread, is she trying to provoke me into revealing myself?" Lu Qing pondered quietly. When Wei Shanhai mentioned that the Zheng family did not admit to performing live human sacrifices but also did not stop the rumors, he roughly guessed their intention. Previously, when he attacked Yuanyang Village, he used multiple disguises and even employed the Earth Movement Talisman, a profound talisman. Even if his master was present at the time, it would be difficult to see through his true identity, let alone the Zheng family. According to Wei Shanhai's description, the personality of the old ancestor of the Zheng family was such that she could hold grudges against innocent guards and clansmen, being narrow-minded and vicious to such an extent. It was impossible for her not to hate him, the one who personally killed her grandson, to the core. It was just that he hid his tracks so well that they had no way to investigate. But it was clear that the old ancestor of the Zheng family would never let go of her hatred for him. She would definitely try every possible means to find him. "Is it because those guests knew the reason I killed Zheng Yu, and thus she wants to use morality as a hook to force me out?" Lu Qing tapped his fingers lightly on the table, roughly guessing some of the old ancestor's thoughts. At that time, he did not kill those guests and prostitutes. Firstly, because the information obtained through his abilities showed that those people had no significant sins, especially those women forced into prostitution, who were pitiable. Although he did not see himself as a saint, he did not want to kill innocents indiscriminately. Secondly, he was confident in his disguise abilities, believing that no one could see through his true identity at that time. Naturally, he felt it was unnecessary to kill them to silence them. Now it seemed that while no one could see through his identity, some information about him was still leaked. "If I were a young warrior full of a sense of justice, I might indeed have been tricked by now." Lu Qing shook his head, slightly amused. But slowly, his smile faded, and a strange look appeared in his eyes. "However, even though I know this is a trap, I still want to kill you. What should I do?" Lu Qing had to admit that the other party's plan was indeed clever. Even though he saw through their intention, he couldn't help but feel a surge of killing intent. This trap was both a scheme and an open plot, aimed at attacking his heart. "Moreover, are you so sure you can handle me?" The next day, Lu Qing arrived at the Wei family's villa. "Lu Xiaolangjun, what did you say? You want to spar with me?" Wei Shanhai looked at Lu Qing, who had a sincere expression, and wondered if he had heard wrong. Mago and Wei Zian, who were beside him, also stared at Lu Qing in astonishment. Especially Wei Zian, who was full of disbelief. What did he just hear? Lu Qing actually wanted to challenge their ancestor, a Precelestial Realm expert? "Yes, the junior has recently encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation and can't figure out some things. I want to spar with the senior to see if I can gain some insights. I hope Senior Wei will not hesitate to give me some advice." Lu Qing said seriously. Seeing that Lu Qing was not joking, Wei Shanhai became more serious. Sёarᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "In that case, why not ask your master for guidance? Doctor Chen's martial realm is much higher than mine and should be better able to guide you." Wei Shanhai had always greatly admired Doctor Chen's martial prowess. Especially his mastery of the harmonious combination of water and fire and the concept of the Precelestial Domain, which Wei Shanhai had asked about many times but could never comprehend. "I don't need guidance; I need pressure," Lu Qing shook his head. "Senior Wei should know that my master does not like to fight with others and is very fond of me. Sparring with him would not give me any pressure." "That's true." Wei Shanhai nodded, recalling Doctor Chen's character. To be honest, after knowing Doctor Chen for a long time, he had been surprised many times. Doctor Chen, who did not like fighting and was not very enthusiastic about martial arts, did not seem like a warrior at all. Yet his achievements in martial arts far exceeded Wei Shanhai's understanding. This was something he could never figure out. However... Wei Shanhai looked at Lu Qing and asked, "To need to spar with a Precelestial Realm expert to feel pressure, what level has your cultivation reached, Lu Xiaolangjun?" This was something Wei Shanhai had been curious about for a long time. About a year and a half ago, he suddenly realized he could no longer see through Lu Qing's cultivation. At that time, he was quite shocked. After all, as a Precelestial Realm expert, not being able to see through the cultivation of a Postnatal Realm warrior was simply unbelievable. At that time, Lu Qing explained that he had practiced a peculiar secret method that could hide his cultivation aura from others. Now, a year and a half had passed, and Wei Shanhai was very curious about Lu Qing's current cultivation level. Upon hearing this, Mago and Wei Zian also perked up and looked at Lu Qing intently. They, whose cultivation levels were much lower than Lu Qing's, had already been unable to sense his true cultivation level for two years. Seeing this, Lu Qing knew he had to reveal a bit of his strength. He restrained the power of his Soul Talisman and let a bit of his true aura leak out. Then, Mago and Wei Zian felt a strong aura like that of an ancient fierce beast coming at them, causing them to involuntarily step back a few paces, their eyes full of astonishment. Wei Shanhai was also shocked, his face showing surprise. After a long while, he sighed, "The pinnacle of the Postnatal Realm, the realm of a Martial Grandmaster. Lu Xiaolangjun, you have indeed reached such a level." Actually, when Lu Qing mentioned that only a Precelestial Realm expert could give him pressure, Wei Shanhai had already guessed it. However, when he truly sensed Lu Qing's cultivation, he couldn't help but be surprised. After all, if he remembered correctly, Lu Qing was not yet nineteen years old. A nineteen-year-old Martial Grandmaster, such an achievement, even in the land of Zhongzhou, filled with talented people, would be unparalleled. Moreover, over the past two years, he also knew that Lu Qing had truly practiced martial arts for less than three years. In less than three years, from not being a warrior to reaching the realm of a Grandmaster... This was an astonishing cultivation speed. No wonder he was a peerless genius blessed with great fortune! Wei Shanhai sighed in his heart again. As for Mago and Wei Zian, they were already dumbfounded. "Brother Lu Qing, have you really become a Martial Grandmaster?" Mago asked with wide eyes. "I was fortunate to break through a few days ago." Lu Qing nodded. "But it is also because of this that I have encountered a bottleneck, so I want to spar with Senior Wei to see if I can gain some insights." "I see. With your strength, only a Precelestial Realm expert can give you pressure." Wei Shanhai understood. When Lu Qing was at the peak of the Tendons and Bones Realm, he could already defeat a Martial Grandmaster. Now that he had achieved the pinnacle of the Postnatal Realm, his strength had increased to an unknown extent. But it was obvious that ordinary Martial Grandmasters could no longer be his opponents. Thinking of this, Wei Shanhai also felt a bit excited. He also wanted to know how strong Lu Qing was now. "Lu Xiaolangjun, where shall we spar?" Table of content
